13 claims

Legal claims defining the scope of protection, as filed with the USPTO.

2

2. The virtual flow meter of claim 1, wherein the one or more processors are configured to execute the computer-readable instructions to train the trained neural network architecture prior to receiving the one or more input parameters.

3

3. The virtual flow meter of claim 2, wherein the one or more processors are configured to execute the computer-readable instructions to train the trained neural network architecture using data collected for the injector at least one well over a period of time.

4

4. The virtual flow meter of claim 3, wherein the one or more processors are configured to execute the computer-readable instructions to detrend the data by subtracting off a value of an endpoint of a sequence from all other points in the sequence.

5

5. The virtual flow meter of claim 3, wherein the one or more processors are configured to execute the computer-readable instructions to normalize the data after detrending using minimum and maximum values of all sequences of the data.

6

6. The virtual flow meter of claim 2, wherein the one or more processors are configured to execute the computer-readable instructions to optimize the trained neural network architecture using a dynamic programing optimization method and the one or more outputs.

7

7. The virtual flow meter of claim 1, wherein the one or more outputs include an oil production rate and a water production rate.

8

8. The virtual flow meter of claim 1, wherein the virtual flow meter is accessible via a terminal by an operator of the injector ell.

9

9. The virtual flow meter of claim 1, wherein the injector well and the producing well are a steam assisted gas drainage well pair.

12

12. The method of claim 11, wherein the trained neural network architecture is trained using data collected for the injector well over a period of time.

13

13. The method of claim 12, wherein the training includes detrending the data by subtracting off a value of an endpoint of a sequence from all other points in the sequence.

16

16. The method of claim 10, wherein the one or more outputs include an oil production rate and a water production rate.

17

17. The method of claim 10, wherein the virtual flow meter is accessible via a terminal by an operator of the injector well.

18

18. The method of claim 10, wherein the injector well and the producing well are a steam assisted gas drainage well pair.
